Super-curricular activities - what are they and why are they important?
Super-curricular activities are those that take the subjects you study further, beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you’ve done for homework. (Oxford University)
When applying to universities and for apprenticeships, students who have completed a range of relevant super-curricular activities are more likely to receive multiple offers or asked to attend interviews.
Super-curricular activities help you to develop new ideas and opinions, critical thinking and analytical skills, they also develop your ability to understand new information from different sources – this is all great preparation for succeeding at University or Apprenticeship Study.
